Large billowing clouds of black smoke.  Heard help was coming from Texas?  Big rig moved from there two weeks ago.  Understand evacuations have or are occurring.  We have read about it elsewhere, but this is close home.  Trust all will end well!

Finnbear, here is a link to local newspaper with some detail about the fire.  Interesting in the article that Statoil makes several statements about the environment and future problems.  Also have a friend who lives near there and says a dike is being built around the well area.

There are about eight pics of the fire posted on this Facebook page;  you may need a Facebook account to see I am not sure.   This is only place I have seen pics after the fire is out, lots of destruction.
